3 Then Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother ain the land of Seir, bthe country of Edom.
4 And he commanded them, saying, a“Speak thus to my lord Esau, ‘Thus your servant Jacob says: “I have dwelt with Laban and stayed there until now.
5 aI have oxen, donkeys, flocks, and male and female servants; and I have sent to tell my lord, that bI may find favor in your sight.” ’ ”
6 Then the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother Esau, and ahe also is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
7 So Jacob was greatly afraid and adistressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies.
